Practice Questions
Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the volume of a cuboid with length 8 cm, width 5 cm, and height 3 cm.
[2 marks]2.
Find the surface area of a cuboid with length 10 cm, width 4 cm, and height 6 cm.
[3 marks]3.
A cuboid has length 12 cm, width 7 cm, and height 5 cm. Calculate its volume.
[3 marks]4.
A student mistakenly uses the formula for the surface area of a cube to find the surface area of a cuboid. Identify and explain the mistake.
[4 marks]5.
A box measures 15 cm by 10 cm by 8 cm. The student claims its volume is 1280 cm^3. Is this correct? Explain.
[4 marks]6.
Construct a cuboid on the grid with dimensions: length 9 cm, width 4 cm, height 7 cm. Show all dimensions clearly.
[3 marks]7.
Calculate the missing dimension of a cuboid with surface area 344 cm^2, length 12 cm, width 8 cm. (Find height)
[3 marks]8.
A cuboid has dimensions 10 cm, 6 cm, and an unknown height h. Its surface area is 284 cm^2. Find h.
[4 marks]9.
Explain why using the formula V = l × w × h to find the volume of a cuboid is correct, but using the same formula to find surface area is incorrect.
[4 marks]10.
A cuboid's length is mistakenly taken as the diagonal of the face. If the face dimensions are 6 cm by 8 cm, what is the error and correct approach?
[4 marks]11.
A student calculates the volume as 300 cm^3 for a cuboid with dimensions 10 cm, 5 cm, and 6 cm, but writes 3000 in their answer sheet. What is the mistake?
